H spoke of other charges made against his administration by- the Republicans, mainly that of paying out 58.000 In lawyers fees. This charge wa also fastened upon the Republicans and the money paid to Republican 1 lawyers. "The great Democratic party.", he de dared, "is pot to be scared In any such manner." ... He spoke of the State's turmoil and strife under the Fuslonists. and the dark and bloody scenes of the Wil mington riot. "And when the man hood of the State arose to these con ditions, apd the dark cloud had been overthrown, he said, "the' Republicans pleaded to Federal .authority. .

The ot;der of President Mitchell issued last night for the men to return, to work Instead of ending all violence, was apparently the cause of a fresh outbreak in different parts of the region In an endeavor to drive the . non-union men out and to take revenge Upon the companies which keep them here. The houses of five men working at the mines were dynamited, a soldier was shot and s verely wounded, ' a man suspected of being a non-union worker wa horribly disfigured, and two attempts were made to wreck trains. Tonight the knowledge that all are not to get their places Is fully realized, and in conse quence more violence is expected. In each part of the region the vigi lance of ' the soldiers Js increased to night, and those who asked if the troops would not be withdrawn as soon as the strike ended can be given no better reply than the occurrences of ill Let Everybody Register Who is Entitled to Do So There is an Entirely New Regis tration 1 his Year.

Last night and tonight many of the saloons in the mining district kept open for their old customers, and the men are cerebrating. Today the steam men went to the mines for their places and while many of them, with the gen real repair men, were taken back, a number were turned away and told that there was no work for them, as their places had been filled. Several delegations ot these men waited upon President Mitchell. "'The operators have said that there would be no discrimination," said Mr. Mitch ell, and he directed each man to send him, in writing, a statement of the facts of the refusal, so that he can refer them to the arbitration commis sion. This was all the satisfaction the men received. There is much grum bling. As to discrimination, the operators ieclare that they plainly stated that there w-ill be no discrimination be tween union and non-union men. Either will be engaged to work as long as there are places for them, but the non-union men now at work will not be discharged. A number ofthe steam workers will find no places because those non-unionists who hold good po sitions in the engine and fire rooms and are residents of the region will remain in their places. There will be no lack or work for the actual miners, and the engineers and firemen can probably get wrk in the mines. They will have no excuse for being idle. Today a number of the coal and iron police were discharged, there being no further npfd of them on the coal prop erties, and many nonunion men, un willing to face the risk of persecution and injury, also gave up their places. These were mostly Imports, however, and are the men to whom President Mitchell referred when he said that in a week all the non-union men would be out of the mines and returned to the cities and the country from which they were' brought. They comprise only about half the number of em ployes, the remainder being citizens de termined to maintain their positions. At some of the collieries the ill feel ing towards the non-union"- men was marked. The workers taken bac i of the arbitration commission, and X expect my men to do the same." It Is the intention of Mr. Markle to have all the men return to work as indi viduals, and some of the strikers ar indignant over this, but have no othci course open to them. Joseph Kern and John Reed of Cran" berry saw Emrt EIck upon the street, and believing him to be a r.on-unioiV man, brutally attacked him. Part of nis lower lip was torn off and he wa severely bruised. It transpired tha. he la a striker returned from Pltts burg to get work. Reed was sent ti jail In this city. Kern got bail. j Two efforts were made to wreck Del aware, Lackawanna & Western trains between this city and West Pittston last night, but the vigilance of the track-walkers and the trainmen pre vented an accident. In one case a heavy wooden wedge was Jammed into a frog in such a manner that a train would have been thrown from the track. This was cleared away and a warning sent along the road. Two hours later a large pile of stones waa found in a lonely place in the rond, a number of them being fitted tightly in a frog. Tonight the track-walkers along the division are doubled. " . 1, Strkert Taraed Down Shamokin, Oct. 22. Colliery superln tendents said tonight that half the ope. rations in this vicinity would not re sume work tomorrow on account of the bad condition of the mines. A score of engineers, firemen and stable men who had been on strike reported at the Burnslde and Renting collieries this morning and" were re fused their old positions, bplng told that none of the Imported men who worked during the tie-up would be discharged. They bore their grievance to Secretary Hartlein of the Ninth district, who, nf. ter a talk over the long-distance tele phone with President Mitchell, told them the latter would present their case to the arbitration commission. Local superintendents say no fire boss es who struck will be given their old places, claiming the men deserted posi tions of trust. Tfca Df-nainlta Argument Pottsville, Pa., Oct. 22.

Official confir mation of the action of the Danish up per houss in declining to ratify the treaty for the sale of the Danish West Indies to th United States was re ceived at . the state department this afternoon.' The officials of the depart ment eTpress themselves as very much disappointed. . The .action of tne upper house was not only a erreat disappointment to Mr. Hay but also a 'surprise. It has been regarded as inevitable, despite the continued opposition to the treaty that the upper house would follow the lead of the lower house in ratifying the sale. The vote of. the lower house represent ed the views and wishes of the people in . the matter and it is seldom that in constitutional or limited monarchies the highest chamber dares to go con trary to the expressed desire of the country. The defeat of the treaty is a defeat for the Danish ministry and it is prob able that the ministry will resign and ppeal to the country. In that lies the hope of the United States for a successful termination of the treaty negotiations, for it is believed that the Danish people? the noble classes ex cepted are heartily in favor of selling the islands .which, have been a contin ual expense to the crown; try the men who aided the companies, There was no violence, but an under current of impotent hatred which is expected to cause a great deal of trou ble. The rush of workers back to the region . is remarkable. Every train that reaches this city empties its load nf strikers, into the district. They come from all over the country, some with money enough to pay car fare, others riding on freight trains and some walking. This afternoon a large delegation arrived from Ambler, Pa., where they have been working steadi ly for $2.50 a day. They could not re main away from the mines. "We did not like to work outside in the rain," they explained. It is expected that within two weeks most of the 40,000 who went to otner places will have returned and asked for work here again. Tomorrow morning the whistles of collieries which have not" sounded for five months will be blown and the strikers will report for work. Then thfv will learn their chances. Some few mines will not be able to take a full force back for several weeks and may spend most of the first two weeks pumping and repairing, in which case most of the workers must wait. Oth ers can take back all of them at once. It will be a week before the general adjustment which is to prevail will be effected. At the five mines of the Dela ware, Lackawana and Western in this district work can start with a full force tomorrow. The mules were today taken down and the mines have been cleared aria are in good condition. They will be operated day and night with as many men as they can accommodate until the supply of coal overtakes the demand. The same plan will be tried at other collieries and those which are in shape to work will be rushed to the utmost. The strike leaders are watching care fully for evidence of black listing. They believe that some of the . companies will try to oust the men who have been most active during the strike. If there is evidence of this it will be submitted to the commission ana tneir re-insiaie- ment requested President Mitchell and the operators as well are hard at work preparing for reports for the commission. President Mitchell had the three district presi dents and two regular secretaries busy all day while each delegate at the con vention was instructed to send to head quarters certain material facts which are to be used by Mr. Mitchell in pre senting the strikers' case to the commission.- He expects to be very busy for several days upon the work. The operators are also busy, their clerks working far into the night, and volu minous reports will be made. - John Markle posted at his collieries today the following notice: .
